ENGLAND VS AMERICA

Talk about music, movies, TV, books, other types of entertainment and what your vices are. Also, if you're addicted to the high you get off Aspirin, this is the place to talk about it.

England deserve credit for inventing Queer as Folk, Fleetwood Mac, and double-decker buses. Everything else, pah.

There seems to be a big issue with the affordability:taste ratio in the UK, outside of pubs.

And the food there still sucks.
The food that you get out of a chipper is much better in taste and quality than you'll get out of McDonalds or Burger King, for much less of a price. And speaking of price, the costs of food over in Britain seem to be a lot less than the inflatory costs that you'll find in Ireland.
"When conversing about oligarchy, you must consider this point: Many children are taught from an early age that monarchies are primarily benevolent, and are given very little to discourage this opinion until at least adolesence. Even more prevalent are stories about the supposed benevolence of heirs to the throne, symbolising a cycle which they are taught is good."

Your food still sucks, though Franz is in no position to say anything, as he's from USA. Food is much greater in Montreal, and it's absolutely excellent in Paris.

Boiled meat and vegetables suck.

I don't realy see why people rap about Mcdonald's food... it's not that bad. Sure, there's a lot of better food out there, but it's not as if everything tastes like sawdust.

Well, english food might not be all that good, but it doesn't really matter because London is filled with all kinds of resturants.

Snails and frogs legs are absolutely awesome. Especially with garlic and cheese.

Snails are especially good cooked on a BBQ along with merguez and artichoke.

I doubt I could stomach snails. Garlic is good with everything though. Murder, for example. :drunk:

Tv show quality from both countries are absolutly piss poor these days. Can't say I'm too thrilled with their music either. the US spews forth massive amounts of rap/hip-hop/R&B shit that all the kids here listen to, and Britain churns out pop artists like no tomorrow, which the rest of the retarded kids listen to here.

Movies wise, I guess the US gets my vote, although it's not like there's a great influx of decent movies to watch.

That was strangely relevant. Thank you, leather pants.
suppose you're thinking about a plate of shrimp. suddenly somebody will say like 'plate' or 'shrimp' or 'plate of shrimp', out of the blue, no explanation.

Yeah, well I just thought I'd let you guys know that there are worse things than snails in this world to eat.
